Today, 45 years ago, Art Pollard lost his
life during a qualifying attempt for the Ill-fated 1973 Indianapolis 500. For
which it was George Phillips, the Elder
Statesman of IndyCar Bloggers who introduced me to him posthumously several
years ago. For which I was simply amazed over Art's Off the Track efforts with
Handicapped Children, not to mention hisoverall good nature.
